<blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 5px;"> <div>Hi folks,</div> <div>In no way do I have the scientific capacity to cast any doubt</div> <div>when Ron writes:</div>
<div>"So the name "Toronto" is an English name of Mohawk origin."</div> <div>With my (completely unscientific) FEELING I cannot but side </div> <div>with Gabriele: To me Lütjensee sounds as LS as can be.
</div> <div>I FEEL with her that a bilingual sign
Lütjensee/Lüttensee</div> <div>would be absurd. What I am saying is: The goal of this</div> <div>action might want to be amended: Where the current HG</div> <div>name is of LS origin, by no means do we need bilingual
</div> <div>signs.</div> <div>To me whether Toronto is a Mohawk NAME or of Mohawk</div> <div>ORIGIN is only scientifically relevant. Ron is a scientist,</div> <div>no quibbling with that.</div> <div>Greetings to all, Mike Wintzer

<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Subject: Language politics<br><br>In the German sentence <i>Die beste italienische Küche ist in Bologna</i> (The best Italian cuisine is in Bologna) <i>Bologna</i> looks like an Italian name because it was taken from Italian, just as
<i>Florenz</i> (= Italian <i>Firenze</i>) is a German name in the sentence <i>Die besten Galerien sind in Florenz</i> (The best galleries are in Florence -- English "Florence" < French <i>Florence</i>).<br><br>
"Vienna" is an English name, not an Italian one, when you use it in English, although its origin is likely to be Italian
<i>Vienna</i>.<br><i><br></i>"Aix-la-Chapelle" and "Aachen" are two English names for the same German city. They are not French and German, though of French and German origin. Which of the two people use depends on their language variety.
